This is the 2nd recipe i've tried making from the show Cook Yourself Thin. Yum. It really is. I don't think i've had the pleasure of trying a real Tuna Melt Sandwich. I'm sure it is mouth watering good- but you should give this one a try ~especially if your trying to get into that bikini before summer is over. Lets meet the stars of the show:

4 Portobello mushrooms, stemmed, gills removed **I have 2 in the photo because I didn't want to make all 4. I later divided up the tuna mixture and refrigerated half of it for another day2 tablespoons olive oil1 5-ounce can albacore tuna packed in water, drained **I used regular canned tuna1 celery stalk, finely chopped1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley **I used a 2 teaspoons of dried parsley2 tablespoons fresh lemon juiceSalt and pepper4 thin slices Swiss cheese4 slices tomato **I love Heirloom tomatoes and that one was just calling me at the grocery store1/2 cup mixed baby greens

1. Preheat the broiler. Using a spoon, remove the gills from the mushrooms by gently scooping them out. Brush the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and broil, turning once until softened and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

3. Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Divide tuna mixture among mushrooms, and spread evenly in caps. Top each with a slice of cheese, and broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top each mushroom with a tomato slice and 2 tablespoons greens, and serve immediately.

That plate of 2 mushroom tuna melts is only 539 calories. Compare that to a McDonalds cheeseburger which is 300 calories. (and your thinking in your head right now that you would take the cheeseburger any day over a mushroom tuna melt right?!! LOL!!) I have to do these healthy recipes every now and then to counter all the junk I make and have to taste- so I feel less guilty=) They have dessert recipes too! Be on the lookout for that because they have a Red Velvet Cupcake recipe too. I'm curious to see & taste it!

Thank you all! I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner- I have been on a relaxing week long vacation in Hawaii. Stay tuned though, I have great pictures of the sights and smells of Kauai, Hawaii. I may even throw in something for a giveaway=)
